And see your local eye-checker for an indication, alot cheaper than going to the CAA.

gdb1973, as said it's not really a job and you wouldn't be able to make a living of it (unless you live at your folks or is on social security at the same time).

Usually the person holding the camera is a pilot and they switch halfway through the day.

I know it's hard to land the first real job. I've been there, and remember it well. If, for a real job, you are talking about airlines, charter operators, cargo or taxi (not necessarily in that order), my experience is that you have to be able to produce a log book with some experience; btw 1000-1500 TT, whereof part of it in multicrew operation plus some turboprop experience. Why not give a Crew Leasing Agency a call. They know what's going on around the world. If you check out www.cockpitforum.com you will find links to these people. Good luck.

Interesting topic "How many never get there", I shudder to think the thought. Failure is NOT an option. I've been looking for nearly 2 years and I've just started flying a C206 for a skydiving outfit and in a holding pool with CTC for the turbo prop scheme. It will happen, I'm determined about it.

Well folks
The bad news is - we'll get there one day.
The good news is - Ronny will be with us along the way to keep us smiling. Hope we all get an invite to his FS2000 sim pass party

Jacobsen: What you said sounds really good but how can one get the first thousand hours, multi-crew and turboprop experience? If you can answer that, it really helps the wannabes.
